Chapter 76: The Task That Had to Be Done

It seems that Joyce's men really have no soldiers.

Climbing along the pole didn't achieve the original purpose of Daliang, but four hero captains and 50 archers were also a great bonus, although bows and arrows had to be purchased at their own expense.

Sidney mentioned to Da Liang many times that in order for the Black Fire Fleet to form combat effectiveness, it must have enough captains. Da Liang wanted to go to the tavern in Shangjiang City to recruit a few, but he didn't expect to go yet, Joyce solved it, and they were all hero units with primary navigation.

There are many different types of captain stunts. The primary navigation technique can not only speed up the speed of the ship piloted by the hero, but also the hidden attribute itself also means that the hero has good sailing experience, as long as he is assigned a ship, he can immediately form combat effectiveness.

But not all heroes have navigational skills, most of the captains recruited from the tavern are whiteboards without any stunts, and even the hero's specialties may be: abuse, alcoholism, aggressiveness and all kinds of strange things, if you want to make these extremely ordinary heroes become qualified captains, in addition to the long-term experience of sailing automatically comprehended, it is to buy skill books and let them learn directly.

In short, it is not easy to train a qualified captain, and Joyce gave Da Liang four captains in the snow.

The 50 archers were also specially allocated by Joyce according to the strength of the Black Fire Lord, and the Black Fire Leader's army, which was dominated by skeletons, lacked enough ranged troops. Although the battle at sea is dominated by artillery bombardment, there are ranged units on board that can make the enemy's flying units dare not approach arbitrarily, and with a small number of griffins, you can protect the sky above the ship.

Archers and griffons are the most common combination of Terran armies.

With Joyce's support, the biggest problem of the Blackfire fleet was solved, and Da Liang was confident that he would drown the 200 unicorns that were knocked into the cabin one by one.

"With these heroes and soldiers, I have taken over this task." Da Liang took the task, looked at the charts and asked Joyce, "Where is this troop fleet from Hong Kong?" I'm going to take the boat and kill it. ”

"I don't know ...... yet"

"Don't know?" Da Liang is a little blind, I don't know what you asked me to do with this task? Everyone is mixed up on the sea, you don't know how big the sea is, you let me block this fleet and don't give it a place, where can I find it?

Joyce shrugged and said, "Since we took this intelligence too late, the fleet had already left Victoria Harbor yesterday afternoon. I have just calculated and deduced it on the chart, and at noon in four days' time, this fleet should reach the southern sea off the coast of Shangjiang. ”

"Should?"

"Hmmm! It should be that the troop carriers in this troop transport fleet are ordinary three-masted merchant ships, and their speed is the speed of the entire fleet. I first estimated the base speed of the three-masted merchant ship when it was fully loaded, and then corrected the speed of the three-masted merchant ship according to the direction and strength of the recent coastal monsoon, and then weighted the actual speed of the fleet according to the changes in the ocean currents in the sea area through which the fleet passed, and finally I calculated the time of their arrival. ”

Da Liang felt a little incredible: "It's all estimation and calculation? With all these things, you let me go to sea to intercept a fleet? You're so confident that they'll be there by that time? ”

Joyce smiled: "How do you think I got the position of Admiral of the Pudong Fleet?" Is it just because I'm the crown prince's fiancΓ©e? Don't worry, I said that this fleet will arrive in four days and will definitely return, no later than noon. You go and receive the soldiers I gave you, and prepare for an ambush. ”

Da Liang didn't know where Joyce's confidence came from, but since she said that the troop carrier would arrive at noon in four days, she could only believe her, but: "The southern sea area off the river is too general, right?" It's also a big sea, what if they run past me and I don't see it? ”

Joyce sneered: "War is sometimes a matter of luck, to stop these unicorns, Hong Kong City will not dare to continue to support Chongming City from the sea when the shipping route is threatened." If you don't stop them, Chongming City will get this batch of unicorns, and its strength will be greatly improved. I don't know if he will attack Flying Dust Island first......"

Da Liang was suddenly shocked in his heart and asked, "What does Lord Admiral mean?" ”

"Hmph...... Yesterday when I came back from Dust Island, I suddenly remembered something. The golden dragons on the island may not be as simple as I thought, if these golden dragons are not hidden on the island by the elves...... And what did the elves let the golden dragon protect on the island? The things that can make Joshua use an archangel and two golden dragons to protect must be very valuable, if he has enough troops, do you say he will attack Jiangcheng or Feichen Island first? ”

A faint smile appeared on Joyce's face, and the smile was numb in Daliang's heart, and he immediately pretended to be casual and said, "My lord is joking, what is the good thing about a broken island......"

"Is there anything on the island, what is there I am not interested in, I only care about how to win this war. In this respect, you and my enemies are the same. So...... After four days, use all your skills to find this troop fleet and destroy them. ”

Da Liang said solemnly: "I know, I will find them." ”

Joyce, with his ability and experience, gave the Daliang troop carrier the time and approximate sea area to arrive. But this sea area is still too big for the sparsely shipped Blackfire fleet. How to find it? Da Liang didn't have any concept in his heart.

Da Liang, who walked out of the Pudong fleet, walked all the way to the commercial port not far from the military port, no matter whether he could intercept the troop carrier in Hong Kong City in time, he had to strengthen his attributes first, he was the main hero of the entire Black Fire Lord, the stronger his strength, the more powerful the soldiers under his subordinates would be.

Da Liang has made a four-day upgrade plan for himself in his mind, and equipment is also an important part of improving the player's power.

The thriving Shangjiang City Commercial Port Market is also a free trade zone for players, where players exchange their unwanted items for gold, various materials, skill books, equipment, and soldiers.

It's more about the players and the merchants.

"Attention, attention, the ship sent to Qingdao City is about to leave, a three-masted merchant ship with a load of 1000 and 325 vacancies, and friends who have a shipshare hurry up to load. The ship is led by a professional veteran driver, and has a good driving ...... for four safe round-trips from Shangjiang to Qingdao Sailing records to ensure boat speed and safety. ”

"In September, the Nine Brotherhoods immediately went to the Maritime Merchants Association to purchase silk, and bought all the quotas they had, and those who had no money went to the guild's steward, Ziwa'er, to borrow money. Our members in Xiamen City said that the silk there has risen to 50 gold per unit, and you can buy it for 30 gold here in Shangjiang, and you can earn 20 gold in two days. The guild only charges 10 gold for the shipping fee of one unit, and you can earn 10 gold if you don't do anything, this is a benefit for our guild members, speed! ”

"The college alliance collects a large number of quotas for various commodities at high prices, and friends who have no money to run merchants hurry up and buy some quotas is enough for you to repair equipment and fight monsters for a day. Our university alliance is a well-known alliance, and the 'domineering emperor' Da Liang is a member of our alliance, ensuring that there are no pits, and the safe arrival of goods can also enhance your credibility in the maritime association......"
